Soulja Boy has ditched Floyd Mayweather for Evander Holyfield when it comes to training him in his upcoming fight against Chris Brown.

Via TMZ:

Soulja’s promoter, Wack 100, tells us he reached out to the ex-champ and hooked them up on the phone. He says Soulja pitched himself to Evander … convincing him he’s serious about the boxing match with Chris.

We’re told Soulja did a lot of talking about “knocking out” Chris, but Evander gave him a quick tip: train harder, talk less. He also assured the skinny singer he can get him into true knockout form. Of course, the nemesis of Evander’s ears — Mike Tyson — is training Chris, but we’re told his name didn’t come up during the initial convo.

As for why Floyd is out … Soulja felt like he was too busy with other interests. We’re told there’s no hard feelings, just business.

If you’re still waiting to buy tickets — no date or venue’s been nailed down.
